Now l don't think the men of to-day
ire as strong as the men of earlier days
were and it seems to Inc that the progress
in sculling is due to
TWO THINGS
in general, that is, improved boats and ap-
pliances, and better knowledge of how to
apply their strength. You may call that
last skill. art or science. Look at this pO-
sltion, arms bent, elbows turned out, knees
spread wide apart, body bent forward be-
tween the legs-old styles of rowing. Do
you think a man can pull his best that way?
No; two sets of muscles are drawing in the
same direction. and some strength is spent
in getting them into line. What is the use
of working the body in that way? Not the
least. of course. Now l put my knees
close together and straighten my arms.
Again you see my legs and arms are not
pulling in parallel lines, and there is lots of
power. But when get my legs and arms
In position to pull all together in the line
of the boats course, every ounce Of power
helps the boat along. l have tried rowing
in every possible way, right and wrong, and
can tell from my own experience and study
what is most effective. This thing have
learned, that the less work you make of
rowing the better and faster you can pull.
You don't want to do a bit more than is
necessary to pull the boat.
AVOID EXTREME EFFORT
and try to make every motion in the easiest
possible way. If you want to lift heavy
weight, you get your legs and arms in line.
keep your body straight, take all strain off
the abdominal muscles and pull altogether
and without any twists or angles Pull an
oar the same way. except, of course, you
must be sitting. You can exert your
strength of shoulder and arms best when
sitting erect in the boat. not stiffly, but
easily. bending at the hips only enough to
get little swing and letting the powerful
muscles of the legs do their share of the
work. The great difference between the
old and new styles of rowing is that while
formerly only the body down to the waist
conld be used, now the thighs and legs
come into play, greatly increasing the power
available. I have been rowing ever since

If l find the wind with me and blowing

it along and make an advantage of fifteen

AFTER PROHIBITION WHAT?

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil is another
sterling newspaper, that among its many
other good qualities possesses pertina
cious vertebra. 1t is satisfied with the
results of the prohibitory law in lows
| and argues against Democratic contem
| pOrary as follows:
''The Des Moines Leader has made the
discovery that prohibition is failure
| and it askes the question in view of this
| fact, what kind of enactments shall take
its placer This is not the first assertion
of the kind that we have heard We
have been listening to declarations OF
this character for two years past, and yet,
by some means, prohibition has grown
in popularity, its influence has been
widely felt, its victories have been more
constantly achieved, until to-day the
liquor interest of the state is not only de-
nloralized but ruined 1t might be well
to stop and enquire what has actually
been accomplished by prohibition, since
it began to exercise its functions as law.
before admitting that it must be super
ceeded by some other enactments. Not
long ago the Nonpareil published state
ment made by Judge Harvey of Decatur
county, in which he said that in his dis
trict alone crime had abated in the last
year about One-fOurth. Judge Commons
has made the same statement as to the
condition of public morals in his district,
and the prosecuting attorneys of several
of the leading counties in the state en-
phatically declare that there is an abate-
ment of crime in Retrospective districts
Do these conditions indicate that prohi-
bition is failure?
The fact is that until within the past
months, prohibition has had no opportu-
nifty to show what it could do. But since
it has been freed from the environment
of public opinion, it has swept like a tor
nado through the state and its track may
be seen in almost every hamlet We can
asure the Leader that prohibition has
come to stay, and as it becomes older and
stronger it will also become more poten-
tial for good. The Democratic party in
in this state is simply fooling away its
time when it busies itself to create new
enactments to take the place of the pres
ent prohibitory law. So long as men
continue to think and to be governed by
good thoughts SO long will they continue
to see the beneficial effects of prohibition
and be governed by it,

CALIFORNIA LAND CRAZY.

For year or more one of the most ex-
traordinary real estate "booms'' on rec
ord has been Grazing the people of south
ern California. Fabulous prices have
obtained for land in Los Angeles, San
Diego, and other towns, about all the
land In whole counties has been sold and
resold for speculative purposes, and many
fortunes have been made by persons of
moderate means. San Francisco long
kept wistful eye upon the wonderful
prosperity of the southern part of the
southern part of the state and waited inn
patiently for the speculative epidemic
to work up toward the Golden Gate. A
short time since the craze struck the
Santa Clara valley. and then it was con-
fidently believed that San Francisco's
turn would come next. The expectation
has been fully justified. A perfect ma
MIA for real estate buying has begun to
rage in and around the Pacific metropolis
and acre property is going like hot cakes
by the front foot. The boom will prob
ably move on to the north until it strikes
the Arctic ocean, after creating wild
desire on the part of otherwise sensible
men to buy corner lots ON Alaskan gla-
ciers Then it will die out, leaving be-
hind it few quickly land ,seasily made
fortunes, and host of disappointed spec
ulators, poorer but wiser than they were
before the epidemic began to rage

GET READY,
FOR THE BOOM KING
Will Soon Invade Dodge City.

There are unmistakable signs of a real
| estate activity in Dodge City. The caus-
es that will bring about this disturbed
condition of the usual quietude in Dodge
City real estate market, are becoming
manifest every day. We need not emu
merate the causes that will set the ball
in motion They have been on the
boards for days and months past. But
it is apparent that state of lethergy is
unbecoming city in the wild and woody
west. and Dodge City does not intend to
be placed in this Rip Van Wrinkle condi-
ton. The city has quietly and earnestly
and energetically pursued a progressive
course without the incidental boom.
No longer can Dodge be governed by
this gentle and slow movement. The
causes that will throw Dodge City into
the commissions of real estate boom will
appear like vivid flashes of lightning
from clear sky. Hence the disturbance
will be unlike the ordinary process of
real estate evolution which has hereto
fore governed her action.
A city that can build water works and
not BOOM
A city that can build electric lights
and not boom n
A city that can build great enterprises
and not boom, but continue to grow and
improve, will certainly enjoy boom
sensation when it does come, with two or
three new railroads striking her borders.
With her public enterprises and the
railroad enterprises that will soon be at
her door, Dodge City cannot longer fol
low in the old-beaten path, but must
succumb to the prevailing fashion of a
genuine boom.
There are evidences gathering every
day, now more than a nucleus which lead
even the unsophisticated to perceive the
impending boom storm quietly pursuing
its way in the distance, and marching
towards Dodge City. SO look leedle
out

CROP REPORT
Secretary Sims Report ofthe Crops
Of Kansas forSthis Year.

William Sims, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, makes the following
official statement of the condition Of the
crops in Kansas, August 81
Wheat-Winter and spring, we note nc
change since the date of our last report,
one month ago. The probable product
is z, 470, 900 bushels, which, with the old
wheat on hand, will about meet the re-
quirements of the state for seed and
bread.
Corn-In view of the very general de-
mand for definite information relating
to the crop, the board has for purposes of
this report extended its inquiries much
beyond its regular correspondents, and
after careful compilation and thorough
analysis of the information received from
all sources find 6, $40, 900 acres or 10 per
cent in excess of any former year. Of
